Heavy thanks to zipcore and his Battle RPG

Attention Upgraders: Please delete your cfg file as a new one will need to be generated.

Ever put a new server together with some great new plugin you found that has a menu? Have your regulars gotten on and tried the regular commands that no longer work then rage quit? New people get on your server and not even know you have a plugin with a menu?

No Longer...

This plugin automatically opens what ever Main Menu you have when a player spawns and reminds them how to open it again when they first join. Also comes with a small welcome message. Simple edit the config file with the menu's chat command! This plugin can be configured to open a Menu on First Spawn Only, open a Menu on Every Spawn, blare a Chat Reminder of the command to reopen the menu for a configurable number of times.

Install .smx in the usual place and let it build its config. Change AMMOpener_Command to what ever your command is that opens the menu. Commands that start with sm_ such as "sm_buy" will remove the sm_ when telling the player the command in chat.

Spoiler: In reality this plugin just runs a FakeClientCommand so you can actually make it do more than just open a menu. A menu is what I designed it for.

Cvars...

To Do
combine AMMOpener_firstspawn and AMMOpener_everyspawn into 1 cvar

looks nice thx i have a problem : no menu opens tried !buy buy sm_buy no menu

oh yeh game is l4d2 coop server

[Tentacle Master]

Are you using a plugin that uses sm_buy as a command like Points System? This plugin just sends a command behalf of the player, it has no menu or commands of its own.

[mugen]

i have no buy and tried it on fresh server also no menu

Please remove or allow us the change this.

Can you make a cvar that only shows for survivor or infected? I use hat plugin and the infected can't use it.

Yes that will work. I figured that plugin was common enough for it to be the default.

Simca, My original version did allow the ability to change the AMMO tag. But I took it off for selfish reasons. I may add that functionality back.

I think the cvar to show teams is a good idea. I'll probably make into 1 cvar rather than 3, 1 for each team.
I thought I had an isclientingame check.... I'll check it out.

I at least fixed this error. See above post for more explanation

Done. Set AMMOpener_Teams to "2"
